During that inspection, it was found that the <br />inline grinder unit is in poor working order and in such condition that it is not repairable. It <br />should be noted that the in -line grinder unit at Lift Station No. 7 is approximately fourteen years <br />old and runs, continuously, twenty-four hours per day. The in -line grinder unit, commonly <br />referred to as a `cutter stack', is in need of replacement and should be replaced soon. <br />Per the signed agreement (Attachment A) between the City of Arden Hills and Presbyterian <br />Homes, dated June 8, 2009, Presbyterian Homes agrees to "maintain, repair and/or replace such <br />inline grinder". It is Public Works' determination that the inline grinder unit must be replaced. <br />Page 1 of 2 <br />
